AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Art Deco Lamp "Elephant" in regulé and crackled glass – 1920s/1930s
Fascinating and authentic table lamp in full Art Déco style, dating from the 1920s-1930s, of Belgian or French manufacture.
The piece consists of a finely detailed sculpture depicting an elephant with the trunk raised, a symbol of good luck, made in regulé with a splendid original dark patina. The sculpture rests on a solid and elegant rectangular base in fine multicolored brecciated marble, characterized by warm veining in ochre and pink tones.
The light source is formed by a refined and iconic globe in crackled glass (craquelé glass, ice-crackled effect) that diffuses a warm, atmospheric, highly theatrical light when the lamp is lit.
The object is in good overall condition and fully functional. The crackled glass is intact and free of passing filaments. A small and classic chipped edge on the left rear corner of the marble base is noted (as shown in detailed photos), which does not compromise its frontal aesthetics or stability. The electrical system has been partially updated in a later period (cable, switch, and plug) for safety and everyday use.
Dimensions:
• Base length: 30 cm
• Base width: 9 cm
• Maximum height: 17 cm
The numerous attached photos are an integral part of the description and show the object both off and lit.
